EDIBLE WILD FLOWERS - EASTERN REDBUD
Free, tasty food!
I plan on compiling a number of shorter videos into one larger project to help people get exposed to wild edibles. This is the first one that I'll be sharing, and it features the Eastern Redbud.
Found along the eastern part of the United States down into northern Mexico, it's a tasty member of the legume family that has edible flowers, leaves, and even pods. We are blessed with having a few on our property, and whether fresh or cooked, these flowers are a tasty treat. Bringing antioxidants and Vitamin C to the table, you should see what they look like sprinkled on a foraged salad!

STEEMIT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
The buds can be pickled, and used for capers in cooking. I posted on this just a few days ago.

We have several redbud on our place as well, but I never knew that they were edible! Thanks for the info!
I love learning new things. ;-)

I love those photos of the bee, the toad, and the lizard. Is there any way I can get a Hi-res version of the photo of the toad at 0:30. I'd like to make it my desktop wallpaper. 💖
Grey Tree Frog actually... I've got a photo shoot post here: https://steemit.com/nature/@papa-pepper/gray-tree-frog-in-a-redbud-tree
You're free to check them out. They may not be high-res enough, but see what you think.
I've had redbuds around me all my life, but never thought to
Nibble on them. I think they may be past blooming here
In Atlanta this year, but I'll have to try to remember
And give it a try. Nice video and post @papa-pepper
That's lovely. :)
